anxiety issues...

so i think i am having anxiety issues , i have a hard time being around people and i feel like if they see me , they are gonna judge me so i (aside from forcing myself to work) have been hiding myself in my bedroom for most of the past week...i know this is a sign of depression , but do i bring this up with my doctor or keep it to myself??..Also , lots of anger problems lately. im so confused.

Hiding all week in your bedroom, that really has a ring of anxiety all about it. I too isolate, out of fear of seeing or knowing anyone anywhere. It always happens too, someone see's me and they want a HI back.

thats exactly it , and the oh so ever and cliche &quot; are you okay ?&quot; question drives me nuts. I don't want to answer you! god thinking about it makes me wanna throw a brick at something pretty. I should prob. try to get a closer relationship with my doc. lol. is it hard for anyone else to recall their past feelings when they see their doc?? cause i can never remember shit when she asks me how ive been doing.

I've gotta say, I do this all the time, and I'm really afraid to bring it up because I don't want him to put me in the hospital. I stay out of their at all cost. I just try to deal with it the best I can. Try omega 3, b vitamins and be sure you take your meds.

Sorry you are not doing well this week - a lot of people find this time of year particularly difficult. The p-doc needs to know what's going on. Is there someone who can go with you to the p-doc? I usually go with my husband so I can fill in the blanks (there are lots of blanks). When I can't go, we write down what's been going on, since he forgets a lot of it.

i prefer to keep my family in the dark beings that have a bad taste about the whole bp ordeal. thanks waggels , thats what im trying to do too , stay out of the hospital. i dont wanna go back. its boring and annoying. i hate living in my house , especially next to my parents. im getting weird , it makes me sick to think that they might be able to hear every little word i mutter to myself. I feel like all i want in life right now is to be alone. Even broke up with my g/f to hasten the process hahaha. man im stupid sometimes. oh well.

oh I understand, I'm usually convinced someone is spying on me. This is a daily occurance for me. I just try to keep my mouth shut about it, so they won't all make fun of me, or make me feel like an idiot. I just hate these paranoid feelings. Nothing seems to get rid of them, sometimes their not quite as bad and sometimes, like you I don't want to leave the house at all. I know its best to tell the Dr. however, I don't trust him either, so I just tough it out. Its hard for us Bp's .
